Not the same glue for everything

I found the Testors Model Master cement in the black diamond shaped bottle works just fine on joining to the bases as well as putitng the models together. That said, I have noticed that some of the models on 'swooshes' have popped off after the fact. In those cases I just stuck them back on with gorilla Superglue because it was on hand and would stick faster (I was fixiing models right before a game) but all the other models have held fast, and when I re-based my glaugs (I found out they were supposed to have the large bases, not the recovery pods) I had to really work a knife under the feet to get them up, while the recovery pods just popped right off with a little leverage. I'm not worried about my models popping off the bases but if it happens superglue is my friend.

my only problem with superglue is the mess factor. I tend to end up with crusty bits and glue scabs on my fingers. But that's down to me being a messy modeler ;-) I keep it on hand for metal bits but I try not to use it when I can avoid it

The orange labelled Tamiya cement. Works incredibly well, bonds every type of plastic that I've tried, get a second pot to toss some old sprue in (makes a great seam/gap filler that can be applied with a brush). Only thing I have to say is designate a detail brush for application instead of using the fat one that comes with the jar.

LOL, sorry Min. I remembered thinking "Damn, these glaugs seem a bit cramped on these bases..."

I like the tip on the model master, I also like that even if the glue does get away from me it;s less messy to deal with than superglue

One thing worth noting, my brother uses superglue on plastic explicitly because he likes to tear down and rebuild models sometimes. Generally for things like Warhammer whenre a new codex makes it so certain weapons don;t exist or better ones are available, etc. He uses superglue because you can snap the parts off at the glue point, scrape the glue residue off and then put it back together with a different weapon/head/whatever.

When I do that I have to break out the blades and cut the part away. Likewise, when he drops a mini he generally knows what might break and can stick it back on, while mine tend to break in new and interesting ways that often require a lot more effort to repair because its some fiddly bit that would have been spared if te whole arm had just come off instead

Glue threads glue threads glue threads, sends an obsession with the Robotech rpg tactics crowd lol.

I've used two glues. The first was a regular cyanocrylate, also known as super glue. I had 0 issues. Later I got curious, mostly because my glue bottle is from gale force 9 and the applicator sucks for small pieces. I switched to "bondene" by plastruct, I use it for styrene scratchbuilding and I really like it. I also has no issues worth this glue.

In both cases they cure in reasonable time, bond solidly to the base as well, and have given me no problems.

It should be mentioned I didn't bother to clean the plastic.

If you're taking your time standard modeling glues should work for all pieces with no issues.
